We don't mean to brag but we are very fortunate to have sunny Southern California weather nearly year round. We took advantage of the sunshine in early January and had our first track test of 2010 at Willow Springs.
The main focus of the test was to validate our new
2010 Camaro Track Pack suspension system, which includes Sport Lowering Springs, Adjustable Sport Sway Bars and the Chassis Max Subframe Brace. Three new SS Camaros were on-site, all with identical engines, wheels and tires. Two were left stock, one was equipped with the Hotchkis Camaro Track Pack.
All three cars were put through their paces on the road course, the slalom and the skid pad. Once our factory drivers and engineers made their runs, journalists from Autoblog, Car Craft and Super Chevy took turns behind the wheel. The results will be posted soon in a new video, and it's safe to say that the Track Pack is one of the most incredible bang-for-your-buck mods you can make to a new Camaro.
Other highlights included Carl Casanova and his Hotchkis TVS equipped, supercharged 1968 Camaro screaming around the track at full speed as we tested our latest upper and lower A-Arms, and a 4th Gen Camaro TVS test where the car pulled over .9G on the skid pad.
Super Chevy was there, and already has a teaser up on their blog.
Overall it was a fantastic day at the track, and we want to thank Sam, Rob and Trish for letting Mark warm up their tires! We feel that thorough and rigorous track testing sets us apart from our competition, and we're lucky to have the weather to test all year! Stay tuned for some of our most action-packed videos yet!
